Salah's injury and Karius' howlers may be two of the biggest reasons Liverpool finished second best in the Champions League last season. But what dented Liverpool's hopes even before the kickoff whistle at Kiev was the lack of a strong bench.

Liverpool had some serious business done this summer which was appreciated by fans and pundits from across the globe. They can now boast of a reliable and confident bench after acquiring the likes of Xherdan Shaqiri and the return of English superstars Sturridge and Lallana.

The game against West Ham saw Sturridge come off the bench and score within 24 seconds from a superb cross from Milner - another underrated and versatile star, and Man Of The Match for the day. He can provide an efficient backup option for Klopp.

Other options include Karius, Matip, Clyne, Moreno, Solanke and an injured Chamberlain who'll be hoping to get back on the field soon.

The current squad depth of Liverpool is very impressive, with each position having at least two players to field. They can definitely go on to challenge for English glory with such players on their side.
